MARTIN GARDNER
This striking replacement dwelling, located near Salisbury, emerges from the surrounding woodland while nestling into the natural curvature of the plains. A muted colour palette allows the contemporary, sculptural design to slot into its rural environment and appear carved out of the landscape.
The home is comprised of three separate wings, all of which feature a pitched roof and splay outwards in plan and upwards in elevation from the centre of the building. Each wing has a different function, one dedicated to living areas, one the private master suite and the other houses the garage, boot room and utility. Careful consideration of the layout provides the ideal balance between form and function. From the entrance the property appears as a single-storey pavilion while at the rear, the land slopes away to reveal a lower-ground floor that provides additional accommodation for family and friends.
